No obs taken in Crosshouse.
Not told what I was diagnosed with.
Told me that I was fine.
30 mins later I had to call 999 because I was struggling to breathe and had shooting pains in my chest.
Paramedics checked my obs - I had a fever, high heart rate and high Respiratory rate. I had an ECG that needed to be reviewed by medics.
I needed to be taken to Ayr ED, who informed me that Crosshouse ED had written a diagnosis of pleurisy in my notes but did not inform me of this.
I ended up needing antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
I feel if Crosshouse had done the correct checks and giving to the correct stuff, I wouldn’t have had to experience the pain and take up any more of the NHS time by coming back a second time
"Correct checks and diagnosis"
